The Ulster County Bring Your Own Bag Act only applies to establishments engaged in the retail sale of personal, consumer or household items, including but not limited to pharmacies, grocery stores and supermarkets, convenience stores and food marts, apparel stores, home centers, hardware stores, stationery and office supply stores, farmers’ markets and open-air flea markets. This term does not include food service establishments located outside of grocery stores, supermarkets, convenience stores or food marts.

The Gomez Mill House in Marlboro offers a Sunday at Mill House lecture on the Jews who were among the settlers of the western US. The talk takes places on Sunday, July 14. New York Times journalist and author Andrée Aelion Brooks discusses these Jewish pioneers and what propelled them at various points in time to make the hazardous journey to the West. Many were Sephardim from converso backgrounds, like Luís Moses Gomez. Waves of later Jewish pioneers developed such iconic clothing as blue jeans and played roles in the Gold Rush and the growth of banking in the West. The event starts at 10 a.m. with a bagel breakfast. The presentation begins at 11 a.m. Admission is free.

MUSIC Levon Helm Studios present Richard Thompson, Shawn Colvin on Saturday
Sometimes I am wrong about these things, but it is hard to imagine that many tickets will be left by the time you are reading this, so call now! No stranger to big names and stacked bills, the Levon Helm Studios host a doozy on Saturday, July 13: Richard Thompson co-headlining with Shawn Colvin. Thompson is supporting his latest collection of mysteriously evocative originals, 2018’s rocking 13 Rivers, on which the master’s axe abuse is better than ever, which is saying something. Colvin is celebrating the 30th anniversary of her debut record, Steady On (though it is its follow-up, A Few Small Repairs, that represents the gifted writer’s pinnacle contribution to the singer/songwriter canon). Thompson’s career is now well into its sixth decade. His fame would have been assured by early Fairport Convention alone – and others have been canonized for less – but it is his six brilliant folk/rock records with ex-wife Linda Thompson, followed by solo titles that require an 11-by-18 page in nine-point font to list, for which he is most known. If Shawn Colvin had arrived on the scene ten years before she did, she would be universally considered among the best of the true singer/songwriter

J
azz at Lincoln Center’s Summer Jazz Academy, a two-week residential high school summer institute for advanced study in jazz performance, takes place at Bard College in mid-July and offers locals a number of opportunities to hear great jazz performed by both the Jedis and the Padawans. Jazz at Lincoln Center, for those not in the know, is code for the great curatorial and canonical energy of one Wynton Marsalis, who, between his work as trumpeter and bandleader and as jazz theorist, historian and educator, is perhaps the single most influential figure in jazz of the last 50 years. (The fact that he is also an utterly elite classical trumpeter and pure murder on Baroque trumpet concerti is just gravy of the most delightful kind.) All of which is to say that the great Wynton – a fixture on campus in past Summer Jazz Academies – seems not to be so much in Annandale this year. Still, the Jazz Faculty is shot through with greatness of his own choosing. The Summer Jazz Faculty concert takes place on Saturday, July 20 at 2 p.m. in Bard’s Olin Hall. It costs $25 to see this octet of absolutely cream-of-thecrop players. On Sunday July 21 at 2 p.m., the student ensembles perform music by Coltrane, Monk, Hancock, Ellington and more. Tickets cost $15. The Jazz at Lincoln Center All-Stars, joined by trumpeter Kenny Rampton, perform at Olin Hall on Saturday, July 27 at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $25. Finally, in the jazz equivalent of an orchestral gala, the Summer Jazz Academy Big Band Finale rocks the curtain close on Sunday, July 28 at 1 p.m. Tickets cost $15. – John Burdick Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Summer Jazz Academy, July 15-28, $15-$25, Olin Hall, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, (845) 758-7900, https://fishercenter.bard.edu/jazz

BSP hosts the Chats on Tuesday A thrashing, snarling, brutally direct Australian pub-punk band with a chokehold on their idiom, the Chats describe themselves “three dropkick drongos from the Sunshine Coast of Australia, also the home of the Crocodile Hunter (RIP).” Works for me. Their latest single “Pub Feed” repeats “All I want, and all I need, all I crave is a good pub feed,” and it actually seems to be about pub food, and getting some. Their website is www.thechatslovebeer.com. The Chats perform at BSP in Kingston, which has beer, on Tuesday, July 16 in a collaborative booking with Meltasia.

Grey Fox Bluegrass Fest returns to Greene County July 18-21
The popular Grey Fox is the biggest bluegrass festival in the Northeast. Over the years, the storied and starstudded Oak Hill roots weekend has demonstrated an intuitively deep grasp of the balance of old and new, tradition and innovation, within the bluegrass and folk community. Perhaps more conservative than pop simply because great acts are never just thrown to the wolves (and because parents and grandparents are not only allowed but honored), bluegrass regenerates at a more cautious pace than genres with higher electrical draw, but change and regeneration are no less essential than in any art. This year’s festival is headlined by a young lion: Billy Strings, who will be performing with his group on three nights. The 24-year-old bluegrass traditionalist sounds way older than his years and is a raw nerve of a flatpicker on guitar.

Acquanetta is the story of a B-movie star with a mysterious past. Her real name was Mildred Davenport, but the exotic beauty perhaps best-known for Tarzan and the Leopard Woman is said to have given a different version of her past in every interview. While her PR billed her as the “Venezuelan Volcano,” Acquanetta at times also claimed to be full-blooded Arapaho, while the Pennsylvania Bar Association called her brother Horace Davenport “the first African-American judge in Montgomery County.”

n 2015, Bard SummerScape presented a revisionist production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! that was quickly picked up by St. Anne’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, moved to Circle in the Square this past April and announced an extension of its Broadway run into 2020 just as it was getting nominated for eight Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical and Best Director for Daniel Fish. This summer, Fish is back at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts on the Bard College campus directing a newish musical titled Acquanetta, which had its premiere in 2017 at New York’s Prototype Festival, to enthusiastic reviews. With songs composed by Bang on a Can co-founder Michael Gordon and a libretto by Deborah Artman, Acquanetta is the story of a B-movie star with a mysterious past. Her real name was Mildred Davenport, but the exotic beauty perhaps bestknown for Tarzan and the Leopard Woman is said to have given a different version of her past in every interview. While her PR billed her as the “Venezuelan Volcano,” Acquanetta at times also claimed to be full-blooded Arapaho, while the Pennsylvania Bar Association called her brother Horace Davenport “the first African-American judge in Montgomery County.” Gordon and Artman’s meditation on the life of this mystery woman takes off from a scene in the 1943 cult classic Captive Wild Woman, in which a mad doctor conducts a doomed experiment to create a woman by transplanting a human female’s brain and glands into a gorilla. Acquanetta reprised the role of Paula Dupree, the shapeshifting Gorilla Girl, in a sequel the following year titled Jungle Woman. “We decided to make the opera based on the laboratory scene and use it as a metaphor for layers of identity,” Artman explains, calling the actress’ career “a quintessential story about how women often have to conceal their truth and hide in plain sight, reinventing themselves to fit an accepted narrative. It has even more resonance now in the current climate when the role of women in power structures is being reevaluated and scrutinized.” In Artman’s libretto, the characters function both as actors playing roles and as the parts they are playing, revealing their inner longings as they wrestle with identity, stereotypes and typecasting. Says Gordon, “Deborah very cleverly looked into the background and the personal stories of the people in that scene. Every one of the characters in that scene has a story to tell that’s multidimensional.” Combining theater, opera and film in a haunting meditation on identity, transformation, types and typecasting, Acquanetta stars Rebecca L. Hargrove as Acquanetta, Amelia Watkins as the Brainy Woman, Eliza Bagg as the Ape, Christopher Burchett as the Director and Timur as the Doctor, accompanied by members of the Choir of Trinity Wall Street and the Bang on a Can Opera ensemble under the baton of Grammy-nominated conductor Julian Wachner. It will have ten performances between July 11 and 21 in Bard’s LUMA Theater, the black-box space in the smaller building just to the left of the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater. Shows begin at 8 p.m. on July 11, 12, 18, 19 and 20 and at 2 p.m. on July 13, 14, 17, 20 and 21. The price of admission includes a Pre-Performance Conversation on Sunday, July 14 at 1 p.m. and a Post-Performance Conversation on Wednesday afternoon, July 17. Ticket prices range from $25 to $75.

The credit speaks to the cultural weight and authority that indierock carried in the aughts, as well to the gravity that Will Sheff and company have always managed to muster. While that particular cultural moment has long passed, Okkervill River’s latest, In the Rainbow Rain, finds the band at the height of its powers, with an opening track, the bizarre “Famous Tracheotomies,” as good as any song Sheff has ever written.

he Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck will host the 28th annual Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival from 4 p.m. on Friday, July 12 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 14. Presented by the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, the event is designed for spectators and adventure-seekers alike. Want to take a flight in a hot-air balloon, or go aloft on a tethered ride? No problem. A helicopter ride more your speed? Yeah, you can do that, too. Or do you just want to take in the spectacle of more than 100 hot-air balloons launching throughout the weekend? Or view the Illumination Moon Glow on Friday and Saturday evenings: a stationary display of hot-air balloons with their burners fired up, glowing against the night sky? A greater number than ever of the eyecatching “shape balloons” are expected this year – which have included lighthouses, cartoon animals and even a tuxedo balloon – and the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome will get into the act, too, with an antique airplane display and flyovers (wind and weather permitting, as is true

of all flight activities over the weekend). In addition to all the activity in the sky, down on terra firma the fairgrounds will be abuzz with plenty of activities for kids and adults all weekend. Children’s fun includes hayrides, two different ageappropriate obstacle courses and a couple of slides, including a 19-foot Wild Wave slide and the 22-foot-high firetruck slide. All kinds of field and sporting games and carnival attractions will keep the young ones entertained, along with shows featuring live
raptors and reptiles, magicians, clowns and puppets. Kids under age 16 get a voucher good for eight carnival games with their admission. Adults can enjoy the craft beverage tap tent or try the “Five-Minute Challenge” escape rooms offered by Headless Horseman. Sunrise yoga will be available Saturday and Sunday while the early morning balloons launch, and hot-air balloon pilots will do presentations throughout the weekend in which they’ll answer frequently asked visitor
questions. Add in live music and nearly four dozen food trucks and food vendors on hand, along with an equal number of retail vendors, and visitors should find it a full day. Schedules have to be kept flexible based on weather conditions, but the plan is for the mass balloon launches to take place at 6 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and 6 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The two sunrise launches are free to attend for early birds, with fairground gates opening

PROFILE
A balloonist’s perspective Chris Healy has spent the last 33 years Above the Clouds
C
hris Healy was 13 years old when a hot-air balloon flew over his home and grabbed hold of his imagination. He jumped on his bike, pedaled after the balloon and, when it landed about a mile away, helped the pilot pack the balloon up. “You want a job?” the guy asked him, and that was it. Healy began riding in one of the “chase vehicles” that go get passengers at the end of a balloon ride, helping to pack the equipment up, and by 16 got his license and became a driver for the business. At 17, he started training to become a pilot, and by 18 was the youngest licensed commercial balloon pilot in the country. That was in 1986. These days, he’s still a balloon pilot, but with 33 years of experience under his belt and his own business, Above the Clouds, which launches out of Randall Airport in Orange County’s Middletown and offers hot-air balloon rides over the lower Hudson Valley. “The beauty of ballooning here is the topography,” Healy says. “It’s just a beautiful place to fly. I’ve flown most places in the country, and if you’re flying in California, or Arizona, out toward the desert, you’ve really got to like brown. And if you’re going to fly down South, you’ve got to like flat. But here we’ve got the Shawangunk Ridge to the north, we’ve got the valley carved out by a glacier and the Hudson River. Rolling green hills, farmland, lakes and streams: This really is one of the best areas in the whole country to fly in.” People ask him all the time, he says, what it’s like to go up in a hot-air balloon. “And, you know, how do you describe a sunrise? It’s almost impossible. And you just don’t know until you’re there and you do it. People ask if it’s scary, and I say, ‘If you can stand still and breathe, you can do this. This is as easy as anything gets.’” The balloon rises slowly enough that passengers don’t have the sensation of movement they’d have in a helicopter, for example, he explains, where your center of gravity shifts as the helicopter maneuvers and you’re aware of which direction you’re moving. “In a balloon, you don’t get any of that. You’re standing still. If you close your eyes and just stand there, you’ll literally think you’re in your living room – until you open your eyes and see you’re 1,000 feet above the ground.” People who say they’re afraid of heights will tell him, “This isn’t bad at all,” once they’re up there, Healy says. Only one time in his decades of flying has he felt the need to land to let a nervous passenger off, and even then, it was more of a diplomatic gesture made to enable the man to save face with his guests who were enjoying their balloon ride. Another reason why it’s not scary to be up in the balloon, he adds, is to picture how it is to be up on a ladder, where we can see the top and bottom of the ladder, so our brains perceive that we’re some distance from the ground. “But when you’re in a hot-air balloon, there’s no physical connection between you and the ground. You don’t get that sensation of height or scary altitude. Especially the way we do it: when the weather is good, which makes for nice, easy flights.” Ideal conditions are winds less than five miles per hour and no rain. “We fly first thing in the morning, around sunrise, because that’s the time of day when the winds are light and calm. It makes for a very smooth takeoff, smooth flight and a smooth landing.” That means that balloonists end up living “on the other side of the clock,” as Healy puts it. “You’re in bed early, and up early enjoying your sport. The great thing, though, is: We’re done by 7:30 in the morning. We’ve got the rest of the day, while some people are just getting up.” Spring and summer are prime time for balloon flights. “When I was a younger man, I would get the equipment out after a beautiful freshly fallen snow and do a balloon flight; but the thing is, we don’t steer a balloon. We go whichever way the wind is blowing. So there has to be a landing field somewhere out there in front of you. But if you’ve got snow on the ground, all of those fields become inaccessible. And of course, there’s the cold that goes along with winter flying. I really don’t do much of it anymore. And most folks aren’t interested in it; once the leaves are off the trees, my phone stops ringing.” Fall balloon trips, with the promise of beautiful foliage, are sought-after. But autumn weather conditions are unpredictable, and passengers need to be flexible with scheduling. “That time of year is probably the toughest time of the year to fly in the Northeast. It’s windy one day, raining the next, and then you’ll have beautiful sunshine. These are fast-moving weather patterns. And with fast-moving weather comes wind. So, we cancel more of the fall flights than the rest of the year. But when we do get them in, they’re spectacular.” Hot-air balloons fly as low as treetop-level to as much as 3,000 feet up – or higher, if weather conditions allow. And logically enough, they travel at the speed of the wind. “If the wind is going ten miles an hour, we’re going ten miles an hour. And we’ll travel ten miles. At different altitudes, the winds blow different directions; but generally, the higher you go, the faster you go, and the lower you are, the calmer
DEANA DEROSA
it is – which is why we really do want the wind at less than five miles an hour for the takeoff and landing. You can fly in a little bit more wind – those are sportier flights – but for the commercial venture that we’re doing, we want to make sure everybody is comfortable: nice and easy, no bump and drag when you come to a stop.” Having grown up in Middletown, and with 3,000-plus flights out of Randall Airport at his last count, Healy is on his home turf when he takes passengers up, and knows exactly where he can and can’t land the balloon. “There are two farms in the area where the farmers have asked me not to land on their property. They’ve got crops, and I have no problem with that whatsoever. And every once in a while, you’ll come across a homeowner who just doesn’t want you landing in his yard. But that guy also hates puppy dogs and rainbows! Because who doesn’t want a hot-air balloon on their back yard?” Most homeowners will ask him to hang on while they wake the kids and get their camera, he adds. Healy’s business, Above the Clouds, flies two large hot-air balloons and one smaller. The large balloons are 70 feet wide by 100 feet tall and have a 175,000-cubicfoot displacement capacity: comfortably able to lift six to eight passengers plus the pilot. The smaller balloon carries four passengers plus a pilot with its 105,000-cubic-foot displacement capacity. (To lift 1,000 pounds of weight, you need a minimum of 65,000 cubic feet of hot air – thus the huge size of hot-air balloons.) The flights vary from 20 to 60 minutes in length. Tethered rides are also available, in which the balloon is tied down to three heavy vehicles to hold it in place as the pilot lets the balloon rise up on its ropes and then drops it down again, switching passengers each time to allow a group of people to have the experience. Most people take a lot of photos during their hot-air balloon ride, says Healy, “and everybody wants to see a pretty balloon in their pictures, right? So, I have mine custom-made and I pick all the colors. You can buy a balloon from the factory, but you’ll get whatever they made. And I figure, if you’re building a balloon, use all the colors of the rainbow! Sometimes you’ll see an all-blue or an all-red balloon, and I’ll wonder, ‘Did they just run out of creativity that day?’ If you’ve got a big, beautiful balloon, make it colorful!” Hot-air balloons are made of ripstop nylon, “heavier than a parachute but lighter than tent material,” he notes. Balloons are treated with a porosity coating to hold the heat in and another coating that functions as a sunscreen to protect the fabric from UV rays, the biggest culprit in fabric deterioration. The length of time a balloon lasts is based on the number of hours it’s used, with 800 to 1,000 flights the industry standard before a balloon needs repairs or replacement. Balloons at Above the Clouds are replaced after 500 to 600 hours of flight. “It costs more to keep a newer fleet, but everybody wants to look at a brand-new balloon,” says Healy. His enthusiasm for what he does is evident. Even after 33 years in the business, Healy says that he wouldn’t trade his job for anything else. “This really is the absolute best thing. They say if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. And I’ve got to say there really is no feeling of ‘work’ in this for me. The alarm clock goes off early in the morning, but as soon as I hear it and I realize I’m going to go flying, I’m ready to go. So yeah, I absolutely love it. And so does everybody who works for me.” The business employs two other pilots in addition to himself, all FAA-certified and participants in recurrent training programs. Passenger and logistics coordinator Deana takes care of everybody on the ground, and Healy has 10 to 12 crew members working with him at any given time. “These are usually young kids, and it’s a great summer job for them. I would say three-quarters of my guys come back to me every year, because it’s always a good time.” Healy says it’s important to him that everybody he employs is happy in their work, because an attitude rubs off on everyone. “My guys are serious with what we do, but everybody is having a good time – and it shows.” For more information about Above the Clouds, call (845) 360-5594 or visit https:// abovethecloudsinc.com. – Sharyn Flanagan

to cut their next record. One such place where magic happened was Laurel Canyon, a tightly clustered residential neighborhood of Los Angeles whose steep topography offered illusions of wilderness within literal walking distance (if Southern Californians ever actually went anywhere on foot) of the myriad studios of West Hollywood. Real artistic ferment happened there in the 1960s and ’70s, fueled by a culture of spontaneous “hanging out� at the homes of rock stars and singer/songwriters. They certainly didn’t all sound alike, but collectively, they undeniably gave birth to a “sound� – one that commingled the ethereal harmonies of surf rock with country-music accents, the jamming explorations of psychedelia and the storytelling propensities of the folk revival. Some call it folk/rock, some soft rock, some simply the Southern California sound; doesn’t matter – we know it when we hear it. The new documentary Echo in the Canyon, currently showing at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck, takes an honorable stab at showing us how all those influences first came together. The film was produced, written and
directed by Andy Slater, a former CEO of Capitol Records (the company’s iconic headquarters tower that resembles a tall stack of vinyl LPs figures prominently in the movie’s aerial establishing shots) and producer of Jakob Dylan’s band, the Wallflowers. Jakob Dylan serves as the dry and laconic primary interviewer, and a tribute concert he organized in 2015 in which a younger generation of musicians reinterprets the “California sound� serves as a centering device for Echo in the Canyon’s narrative. Slater chooses to limit his focus to the period of 1965 to 1967, when, as he envisions it, every musically inclined kid’s dream was to run off and join a band that would have adventures like the Beatles did in A Hard Day’s Night. The point at which artistic differences began to fragment those bands and Laurel Canyon’s sound shifted more toward individual singer/songwriters is the point at which Slater either loses interest or simply decides not to bite off more than he can chew. This is unfortunate, in that the film’s arc ends just at the point where the performer probably most closely associated with Laurel Canyon, Joni Mitchell, is about

Even her most famous male contemporaries have elsewhere admitted to having been intimidated by Joni’s superior musicianship and songwriting skills, as manifested in her canyon cottage where CSN first harmonized together. Slater somehow manages it. While I couldn’t swear that sexism is an overt factor here, most of the film’s references to the role of women in the Laurel Canyon scene revolve around sexual shenanigans, such as Michelle Phillips perkily describing her affair with Denny Doherty while still married to John Phillips and all still singing together as the Mamas and the Papas, or the controversy over “Triad,� Crosby’s ode to polyamory that was a factor in him getting booted from the Byrds.

FILM
PRODUCER SCREENS NEW TONI MORRISON DOCUMENTARY AT UPSTATE FILMS IN RHINEBECK WITH RECEPTION AT AMSTERDAM
I
n 2006, The New York Times Book Review assembled a committee of prominent writers, literary critics and editors to designate the best work of American fiction published in the previous 25 years. Their choice was Toni Morrison’s heartbreaking 1987 novel about slavery in America, Beloved. “Any other outcome would have been startling,� wrote critic A. O. Scott of the decision, comparing Morrison’s literary significance with “Faulkner, Melville, Hawthorne and Twain.� Beloved won her the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award; her body of work was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993, and the list of her other highly prestigious honors in the US and abroad would take up most of this page of newsprint. But in addition to being a writer for the ages, Morrison helped plenty of other black writers get published and taken seriously by critics during her 15 years at Random House, where she was the first black woman senior editor in the fiction department. She later went on to teach for 17 years at Princeton University. A new film directed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders titled Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am made a big splash at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, and Upstate Films in Rhinebeck will give it a special screening on Saturday, July 13 at 1 p.m. On hand for a discussion, followed by a reception at the nearby Amsterdam Restaurant, will be Tommy Walker, the documentary’s producer, a short walk down the street. Admission to the screening, talk and reception costs $18 general admission, $15 for Upstate Films members. To purchase tickets in advance, visit www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4273766.

than the slice of time covered here – as was Carole King, although her 1966 song “Goin’ Back� gets a brief spotlight as the cut that displaced “Triad� on The Notorious Byrd Brothers. These “ladies of the canyon,� as Mitchell memorialized them, are not the only major figures skipped over in this documentary. Frank Zappa, who turned a mansion that once belonged to cowboy star Tom Mix into his private recording studio, gets only a passing reference in
a funny story by Stills, and the Doors – dominant neighborhood presences during the movie’s timeframe – are not mentioned even once. Nor are 1968 arrivals David Geffen and Elliot Roberts, agents and producers who were key to bringing the canyon sound together in a very real way on tour and on vinyl. Nor is the country-rock lineage traced from Buffalo Springfield and the Byrds to Poco and the Flying Burrito Brothers to the most successful Laurel Canyon-based
band of all time, the Eagles. Considerable time is spent on the Beach Boys, who are not primarily associated with this neighborhood (although Michelle Phillips does say that the house where Brian
11 Wilson put his piano in a giant sandbox during the composition of Pet Sounds was “right down the road�). Slater’s core premise is that the Beach Boys’ sound attracted the Byrds to Southern California, and that other bands followed them up into the canyon, where at that time, cute hippie cottages with million-dollar views could be rented on the cheap. Besides actual survivors of the scene under this microscope, Dylan sounds out contemporaries who lived elsewhere but frequently came to visit, including Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr, plus a raft of slightly later big names who cite the canyon-dwellers as influences, including Jackson Browne and – enthused, lucid and witty in his last-ever onscreen interview – Tom Petty. There’s plenty of guitar talk, notably about Roger McGuinn’s trademark Rickenbacker 12-string and the copy that was supposed to go to John Lennon but ended up in George Harrison’s hands instead, tilting him irrevocably toward a lead guitar sound of his own. We learn that Harrison admitted point-blank that he’d also copped a riff from “Bells of Rhymney� for “If I Needed Someone,� and sent McGuinn an apology. Beach Boys, Beatles and Byrds all influencing one another in a great creative spiral is a premise that this movie hammers home effectively. But it’s clear that the real crosspollination (or as two separate interviewees amusingly mispronounce it here, “cross-pollinization�) peculiar to Laurel Canyon took place in musicians’ homes, where people felt free to drop in at any hour to demo a new song in the making, and on a secondary level, in the studios nearby – many of which the filmmakers visit, sometimes with legendary record producer Lou Adler himself as tour guide. Accompanied by young artists including Cat Power, Regina Spektor, Beck and Fiona Apple, Dylan uses these settings where musical history was made to rehearse songs made famous from 1965 to 1967 for the planned tribute concert and album. Although the spirit of commemoration is admirable, one comes away from hearing these new renditions with an unshakable feeling that these contemporary stars don’t command vocal chops that anywhere near approach the pristine sound of the original bands they’re emulating – especially when past and present versions are juxtaposed on the soundtrack. It was a moment in time, and that moment is now gone. Even less impressive are the scenes where the younger musicians gather in an actual Laurel Canyon house around a coffee table stacked with ’60s LP sleeves and say vague and vapid-sounding things about these groups long gone. Though it’s nice to know that the artists haven’t been forgotten, that link of continuity to the present, that sense of ongoing inspiration, simply doesn’t come alive, sadly, in Echo in the Canyon. – Frances Marion Platt

roadway-worthy singing is the most compelling reason to catch the Rhinebeck Theatre Society’s new production of The Secret Garden, which runs through July 14 at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. Under the direction of Dorothy Luongo, it’s a spirited, engaging production all around, but the voices shine especially brightly. That’s important for this show, a musical adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved 1911 children’s novel, because the score by Lucy Simon is varied in style and technically challenging. A few of the songs incorporate deliberate dissonance in order to emphasize the darkness of Marsha Norman’s interpretation of the story. Remember, the playwright won her Pulitzer Prize with ‘Night, Mother, a drama that ends with the sound of a gunshot offstage as one of the two main characters commits suicide. While in this case, the original novel does start out with a cholera epidemic and feature a creepy old mansion, not one but two children who start out imperious and unlikable and some toxic parenting as well, it still has a sunnier tone overall than Norman’s bleak signature style. Nevertheless, the book for The Secret Garden won her both a Tony and a Drama Desk Award. Admirers of the novel may be a little perplexed that Norman has introduced a large chorus of literal ghosts to voice the fears and regrets that only metaphorically haunt the characters on the printed page. They do a considerable amount of the singing, and the vocal parts for the ghost of the late mistress of Misselthwaite Manor, Lily Craven, require a well-nigh operatic range. This shouldn’t come as a great surprise if one considers that, while the composer of The Secret Garden is betterknown as the younger sister and sometime singing partner of Carly Simon, there was also a third Simon Sister – Joanna, the eldest – who was quite a successful opera singer in the 1960s and ’70s. The artistic influences in that household were manifold and broad. Elizabeth Thomas delivers a stunning vocal performance as Lily, whose death in childbirth led to her widower Archibald’s ban on anyone ever again entering the walled garden that was her favorite haunt in her lifetime. Joshuah Patriarco proves her vocal equal as Archibald Craven, the embittered lord of the manor who has just acquired the reluctant guardianship of a sour nine-year-old orphaned niece. The duets between the tormented, hunchbacked widower and the specter of his beloved young wife, “A Girl in the Valley” and “How Will I Ever Know,” are rendered with an intensity that’ll make your spine tingle, and the two actors have powerful stage chemistry together. To enhance the Gothic feel of the setting, Patriarco’s long hair is gelled to one side in a style that makes him resemble Johnny Depp in the movie version of Sweeney Todd, forcing us to notice the Sondheimesque reverberations in Simon’s score. Conflicts among the adult characters in this story are front and center in this stage adaptation, including a much more

disappointments overall include Norman’s excision of one of the most charming book characters, Dickon’s mother, who I suspect may have been the inspiration for Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter saga. On the whole, this is a very worthy, entertaining, high-quality production. I especially look forward to seeing more of Jane Langan as she grows up onstage.

substantial and villainous role for Dr. Craven – a distant cousin in the book, but Archibald’s brother Neville (David Foster) here. In being depicted as having been in love with Lily himself, presumably to add dramatic conflict, he’s saddled with a motive that feels a little clunky and arbitrary but allows for a terrific duet with Archibald, “Lily’s Eyes.” The book mainly focuses on the triad of children drawn to the garden and its mysterious healing powers. In this production, young Jane Langan is astonishingly good, both in her pipes and her line delivery, as the story’s protagonist: Mary Lennox, the jaundiced orphan,
newly arrived from India, who pretty much hates everything until she falls in with a spritelike Yorkshire lad named Dickon Sowerby. (Book Mary, it should be noted, is much surlier for much longer.) SUNY-New Paltz student Josh Lococo sings extremely well as Dickon. An acting novice of small and slender stature, Sean Patrick Mahoney, is well-cast as the third child, Colin Craven, Mary’s sickly cousin who also direly needs some garden therapy. Archibald’s lullaby to the son he fears will grow up hunchbacked like himself, “Race You to the Top of the Morning,” is another of the show’s more heart-tugging moments.

ganizations, County Players in Wappingers Falls, presents Moonlight and Magnolias, with performances throughout the second half of July. In Ron Hutchinson’s hilarious comedy, the year is 1939 and David O. Selznick is making the mother of all movies, Gone with the Wind. There’s just one problem: Selznick doesn’t have a script yet. So, he locks himself, director Victor Fleming and script doctor Ben Hecht in a room with little more than peanuts, bananas and a typewriter, and they proceed to reenact the saga of Scarlett and Rhett – only this is Scarlett and Rhett like you’ve never seen before. Moonlight and Magnolias performances begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, July 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, 26 and 27. Ticket prices are $20 general admission, $15 for seniors and children 12 and under.

HBO wraps filming in Kingston on The Undoing with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant Described by HBO location manager Lauri Pitkus as a “suspense thriller,” The Undoing is the second HBO project to shoot in Ulster County this year, following the Mark Ruffalo production I Know This Much Is True, which is set to film more scenes locally in September. Nicole Kidman will reunite with Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley for The Undoing, a limited series based on the book You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz. Joining Kidman is a stellar cast including Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland, Edgar Ramirez and others. Such distinction for the mid-Hudson Valley comes at the cost of road closings and other necessary changes in Kingston, but HBO reports that filming has wrapped, and soon we get to enjoy the fruits. The Undoing is set to air in 2020.

ART Self-guided Marbletown Studio Art Tour takes place this Saturday Art studio tours have become a popular seasonal means of connecting artists to art-appreciators in a decentralized and intimate way, drawing people out into community venues at the same time. Marbletown has been doing it for years. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour takes place on Saturday, July 13, when nine artists from the High Falls, Stone Ridge, Rosendale and Accord communities open their studios to visitors. The artists include Bob Barry (ceramics), Meg Beaudoin (ceramics), Janet Siskind (printmaking and painting), Michael Nighswonger (painting and modern art gallery), Brenna Chase (stained glass), Kaete Brittin Shaw (functional/sculptural porcelain), Lynne Friedman (oil painting), Sara Harris (painting) and Karen Schaffel (painting). Their studios open at 11 a.m. For a map of participating studios, visit http://bit.ly/MAST2019map.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art in the Barnâ&#x20AC;? exhibition opens Friday at Dutch Barn Art Gallery in Saugerties A new exhibit featuring the works of Saugerties artists will open on Friday, July 12 at the Dutch Barn Art & Heritage Gallery, located on the grounds of the Saugerties Historical Society at 119 Main Street. This diverse show offers a contemporary, kaleidoscopic glimpse into the world of artistic expression, in contrast to its setting in a reconstructed 1750s Dutch barn. The barn gives artists an opportunity to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go big,â&#x20AC;? displaying large works on canvas, moderately sized sculptures and pottery. Not to be overlooked, well-lit museum panels will support 2-D and smaller 3-D work with selections in a wide range of media: painting, collage, linocuts, prints, mixed media and photography, as well as artfully crafted handmade bows.

Philip Guston sketching a NY Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fair mural for the WPA Federal Art Project in 1939
ART
RETROSPECTIVE OF WOODSTOCK ARTIST PHILIP GUSTON TO BE HELD AT NATIONAL GALLERY
W
idely considered one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important modern painters, though a breed apart from his peers, Philip Guston has deep ties to the Woodstock community. The somewhat-reclusive and attention-averse master was friends with the biggest names of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rothko, de Kooning et cetera â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but had little use for the spotlight of New York City. In 1967, Guston moved his family to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;arts colonyâ&#x20AC;? known as Woodstock and remained there, working and commuting to teach in New York. While his own work in the Abstract Expressionist vein in the 1950s was successful and influential, Guston did not stay put in the style. He moved through several other significant periods in his 50-year career, touching on subjects political and personal, in style both abstract and figurative. He was known for his satirical drawings of Richard Nixon and his associates; for an array of small panel paintings made in 1968 to 1972 making repeated use of hoods, books, bricks and shoes; and for the large, often-apocalyptic paintings that comprise his last period in the late 1970s. During the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, writes Gustonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Musa Mayeraug, when Gustonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new figurative work was condemned by the critics, he found comfort and humor in the friendship of Philip Roth. Both men were in hiding in the Catskills, the novelist sheltering from the storm generated by the publication of Portnoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Complaint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was through lightheartedness that we connected,â&#x20AC;? Roth told Mayeraug. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We discovered we both liked American junk. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d drive to Kingston, have a walk around, take in whatever was hideous, then have lunch in my favorite diner there, the Aim to Please.â&#x20AC;? A major Philip Guston retrospective and international tour has been announced for 2020/21. The exhibition is curated by Harry Cooper, senior curator and head of the Department of Modern Art at the National Gallery of Art, and a fleet of senior curators at the most prestigious museums in the US and in England. The first Guston retrospective in more 15 years, it will debut in the National Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Building from June 7 through September 13, 2020, said Kaywin Feldman, director of the National Gallery of Art in Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This exhibition will provide an in-depth look at the career that led to his iconic late paintings and will surely secure Gustonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in the pantheon of modern art, while reassessing his impact on the art of the present.â&#x20AC;? For more information on the retrospective and museum tour (including a stop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York), visit www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2020/philip-guston-now.html.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Stalking the spotted lanternfly
O
ver many years of gardening at the same location, I’ve seen pests come and go. And if they didn’t actually leave, they at least didn’t live up to the most feared expectations. A few years ago, for instance, late blight disease ravaged tomato plants up and down the East Coast. The disease overwinters in the South and normally hitchhikes up North if temperatures are cool, humidity is high and winds blow in just the right direction. That year it got a free ride here on plants sold in “big box” stores. I no longer consider late blight any more of a problem than it was before that high-alert summer. A few years ago, I was ready to say goodbye to my lily plants when I first heard of and then saw red lily beetles crawling and eating their way across my lilies’ leaves. They’ve been making headway across the Northeast since arriving in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1992. But my lilies still look fine, and yes, I do still see some of those beetles. Perhaps one of the natural predators released in Rhode Island years ago has joined the crowd here, minimizing damage. Japanese beetles were never a problem here until around 2006. I tried handpicking and trapping, but their numbers – and damage – continued on the upswing. Then, about ten years later and since then, they’ve showed up on schedule (which is now) but then disappeared for the rest of the season. Did they go off to greener pastures? Did they succumb to soil nematodes or fungi? And then there’s the spotted wing drosophila, which really went over the line by attacking my favorite fruit, blueberries. Although chemical, mechanical and biological controls are still under development, this pest has not put an end to my blueberry-eating days. Thanks to some bait-and-kill traps developed by Cornell’s Peter Jentsch, damage has been kept to a minimum. The list goes on: marmorated stinkbug, leek moth, emerald ash borer, hemlock woolly adelgid…

A few natural predators, such as spiders and praying mantises, feast on SLF, but not enough. What to do?
A new, most frightening pest is now lurking in the wings. The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma deliculata, hereafter to be abbreviated SLF) is an invasive leafhopper native to China, India and Vietnam. It feeds on just about everything, including various hardwoods as well as grapes and fruit trees. To make matters worse, it also exudes a sticky honeydew that falls on any nearby surface (other leaves, lawn furniture et cetera) and, worse yet, becomes food for a fungus than turns that stickiness dark. This voracious pest can spread quickly; within three years of finding its way into South Korea, it had spread throughout the country, about the size of Pennsylvania. And now SLF has arrived in Pennsylvania (well, actually, a few years ago)! In autumn, the lanternfly lays its eggs, which get a mudlike covering, on any hard surface, be it the bark of a tree, a rock, even a car bumper. In spring, nymphs hatch and climb trees in search of soft new growth. The one-inch-long adults emerge around now; they’re very mobile, usually jumping but also capable of flying, which is when their spread wings display their bright red color. With wings folded, the insects show mostly gray wings with dark spots. A few natural predators, such as spiders and praying mantises, feast on SLF, but not enough. What to do? There are a few approaches. A favorite host is tree-of-heaven, a weed tree that is not a favorite of most humans. Getting rid of these trees, then, is one way to limit the spread of SLF. Problem is that a single female tree might produce 300,000 seeds per year; and the trees are hard to kill, resprouting and growing quickly from root sprouts.

Systemic pesticides injected into the trees would kill any insects feeding on them. Someone recounted to me having seen a six-inch depth of dead SLF beneath infested, pesticide-treated trees! One thing you and I can do when leaving any area known to harbor SLF is to check what we’re taking with us – on the car bumper, for instance. Currently, certain southeastern counties of Pennsylvania are under quarantine, which means that movement of certain articles (such as brush, debris or yard waste, landscaping or construction waste, logs, stumps, firewood, nursery stock, outdoor recreational vehicles, tractors, tile and stone) is restricted out of these areas. Although established populations have not been reported elsewhere, individual insects have also been sighted in nearby states. Keep an eye out for eggs or adults on your property. If egg masses are found, scrape them off wherever they’re attached. Because authorities are trying to monitor spread of SLF, report any sighting of eggs or adults, along with photographs and location, to (888) 4BADFLY or www.spottedlanternfly@dec.ny.gov. Insecticidal soap and Neem are two organic insecticides that are effective against SLF. Both are contact insecticides, so will not kill insects that arrive after spraying. By keeping an eye out for SLF and helping to limit its spread, we can keep this pest in check – at least until some natural control can step in for the job. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

NIGHT SKY
Weekend conjunctions ... And a preview of the big one
I
wouldn’t waste your time if this weren’t easy and dramatic – with a touch of the bizarre thrown in for seasoning. We’re talking about a bright get-together between the Moon and the biggest planets, Jupiter and Saturn. Start on Saturday, July 13. The time doesn’t matter. Look at the Moon when darkness falls at around 9 p.m. Or wait until midnight; it’s out all night long. The “it” is the close meeting of the nearly full Moon and a brilliant “star” that is the planet Jupiter. They are very close together. You can’t miss it. The weird part is: What’s that in the background? It’s the constellation Ophiuchus, which is supposed to be a guy carrying snakes. Maybe there were actual “serpent bearers” two or three thousand years ago, when the constellations were created. When you see the Moon and Jupiter Friday evening, they are both passing through Ophiuchus, most of whose stars are above them, including a faint, uneven horizontal starry line that forms the main snake. This even has its own name and boundary: It’s Serpens, one of the 88 star patterns the ancients chose to immortalize. The next evening, Saturday, the Moon has moved to the left by 26 times its own diameter, and now sits smack at the halfway point between Jupiter on the right and Saturn on the left. Thus, on Saturday you can instantly identify both planets. Jupiter moves around the Sun much faster than Saturn, and since everything travels leftward (eastward) while orbiting the Sun, we can expect Jupiter on the right slowly to approach and then pass Saturn. Once every 20 years, Jupiter catches up with the Ringed World and the two perform a so-called “Great Conjunction,” which is sort of a big deal. It will happen late next year. And this time it’s the closest-together Great Conjunction in several centuries! Mark it on your calendar.

For the object or purpose of refunding the outstanding aggregate $5,755,000 principal balance of the Refunded Bonds, including providing moneys which, together with the interest earned from the investment of certain of the proceeds of the refunding bonds herein authorized, shall be sufficient to pay (i) the principal amount of the Refunded Bonds, (ii) the aggregate amount of unmatured interest payable on the Refunded Bonds to and including the date on which the Refunded Bonds which are callable are to be called prior to their respective maturities in accordance with the refunding financial plan, as hereinafter defined, (iii) the costs and expenses incidental to the issuance of the refunding bonds herein authorized, including the development of the refunding financial plan, as hereinafter defined, compensation to the underwriter or underwriters, as hereinafter defined, costs and expenses of executing and performing the terms and conditions of the escrow contract or contracts, as hereinafter defined, and fees and charges of the escrow holder or holders, as hereinafter mentioned, (iv) the redemption premium to be paid on the Refunded Bonds which are to be called prior to their respective maturities, and (v) the premium or premiums for a policy or policies of municipal bond insurance or cost or costs of other credit enhancement facility or facilities, for the refunding bonds herein authorized, or any portion thereof, there are hereby authorized to be issued not exceeding $5,900,000 refunding bonds of the County pursuant to the provisions of Section 90.00 or Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law (the “County Refunding Bonds” or the “Refunding Bonds”), it being anticipated that the amount of Refunding Bonds actually to be issued will be approximately $5,615,000, as provided in Section 4 hereof. The Refunding Bonds described herein are hereby authorized to be consolidated for purposes of sale in one or more refunding bond issues. The County Refunding Bonds shall each be designated substantially “PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT REFUNDING SERIAL BOND” together with such series designation and year as is appropriate on the date of sale thereof, shall be of the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (except for any odd denominations, if necessary) not exceeding the principal amount of each respective maturity, shall be numbered with the prefix R-19 (or R with the last two digits of the year in which the Refunding Bonds are issued as appropriate) followed by a dash and then from 1 upward, shall be dated on such dates, and shall mature annually on such dates in such years, bearing interest semi annually on such dates, at the rate or rates of interest per annum, as may be necessary to sell the same, all as shall be determined by the Commissioner of Finance pursuant to Section 4 hereof. It is hereby further determined that (a) such Refunding Bonds may be issued in series, (b) such Refunding Bonds may be sold at a discount in the manner authorized by paragraph e of Section 57.00 of the Local Finance Law and pursuant to subdivision 2 of paragraph f of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, and (c) such Refunding Bonds may be issued as a single consolidated issue. It is hereby further determined that such Refunding Bonds may be issued to refund all, or any portion of, the Refunded Bonds, subject to the limitation hereinafter described in Section 10 hereof relating to approval by the State Comptroller. Section 2. The Refunding Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity upon such terms as the Commissioner of Finance shall prescribe, which terms shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 53.00 (b) of the Local Finance Law. If less than all of the Refunding Bonds of any maturity are to be redeemed, the particular refunding bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by the County by lot in any customary manner of selection as determined by the Commissioner of Finance. The Refunding Bonds shall be issued in registered form and shall not be registrable to bearer or convertible into bearer coupon form. In the event said Refunding Bonds are issued
ALMANAC WEEKLY in non certificated form, such bonds, when issued, shall be initially issued in registered form in denominations such that one bond shall be issued for each maturity of bonds and shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), which will act as securities depository for the bonds in accordance with the Book Entry Only system of DTC. In the event that either DTC shall discontinue the Book Entry Only system or the County shall terminate its participation in such Book Entry Only system, such bonds shall thereafter be issued in certificated form of the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof (except for any odd denominations, if necessary) not exceeding the principal amount of each respective maturity. In the case of non certificated Refunding Bonds, principal of and interest on the bonds shall be payable by check or draft mailed by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined) to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, or to its nominee, Cede & Co., while the bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co. in accordance with such Book Entry Only System. Principal shall only be payable upon surrender of the bonds at the principal corporate trust office of such Fiscal Agent (or at the office of the County clerk as Fiscal Agent as hereinafter provided). In the event said Refunding Bonds are issued in certificated form, principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds shall be payable by check or draft mailed by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined) to the registered owners of the Refunding Bonds as shown on the registration books of the County maintained by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined), as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month or first business day of the calendar month preceding each interest payment date as appropriate and as provided in a certificate of the Commissioner of Finance providing for the details of the Refunding Bonds. Principal shall only be payable upon surrender of bonds at the principal corporate trust office of a bank or trust company or banks or trust companies located or authorized to do business in the State of New York, as shall hereafter be designated by the Commissioner of Finance as fiscal agent of the County for the Refunding Bonds (collectively the “Fiscal Agent”). Refunding Bonds in certificated form may be transferred or exchanged at any time prior to maturity at the principal corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent for bonds of the same maturity of any authorized denomination or denominations in the same aggregate principal amount. Principal and interest on the Refunding Bonds will be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. The Commissioner of Finance, as chief fiscal officer of the County, is hereby authorized and directed to enter into an agreement or agreements containing such terms and conditions as he shall deem proper with the Fiscal Agent, for the purpose of having such bank or trust company or banks or trust companies act, in connection with the Refunding Bonds, as the Fiscal Agent for said County, to perform the services described in Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law, and to execute such agreement or agreements on behalf of the County, regardless of whether the Refunding Bonds are initially issued in certificated or non certificated form; provided, however, that the Commissioner of Finance is also hereby authorized to name the County Clerk as the Fiscal Agent in connection with the Refunding Bonds if said Refunding Bonds are issued in non-certificated form. The Commissioner of Finance is hereby further delegated all powers of this County Legislature with respect to agreements for credit enhancement, derived from and pursuant to Section 168.00 of the Local Finance Law, for said Refunding Bonds, including, but not limited to the determination of the provider of such credit enhancement facility or facilities and the terms and contents of any agreement or agreements related thereto. The Refunding Bonds shall be executed in the name of the County by the manual or facsimile signature of the Commissioner of Finance, and a facsimile of its corporate seal shall be imprinted thereon. In the event of facsimile signature, the Refunding Bonds shall be authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer or employee of the Fiscal Agent. The Refunding Bonds shall contain the recital required by subdivision 4 of paragraph g of Section 90.00 of the Local Finance Law or subdivision 4 of paragraph j of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, as applicable, and the recital of validity clause provided for in Section 52.00 of the Local Finance Law and shall otherwise be in such form and contain such recitals, in addition to those required by Section 51.00 of the Local Finance Law, as the Commissioner of Finance shall determine. It is hereby determined that it is to the financial advantage of the County not to impose and collect from registered owners of the Refunding Bonds any charges for mailing, shipping and insuring bonds transferred or exchanged by the Fiscal Agent, and, accordingly, pursuant to paragraph c of Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law, no such charges shall be so collected by the Fiscal Agent. Section 3. It is hereby determined that: (a) the maximum amount of the Refunding Bonds authorized to be issued pursuant to this resolution does not exceed the limitation imposed by subdivision 1 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law; (b) the maximum period of probable useful-
ness permitted by law at the time of the issuance of the respective Refunded Bonds, for the objects or purposes for which such respective Refunded Bonds were issued is as described in Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof; (c) the last installment of the Refunding Bonds will mature not later than the expiration of the period of probable usefulness of the objects or purposes for which said respective Refunded Bonds were issued in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 1 of paragraph a of Section 90.00 of the Local Finance Law or subdivision 1 of paragraph c of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, as applicable; (d) the estimated present value of the total debt service savings anticipated as a result of the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, if any, computed in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 2 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, with regard to each of the respective series of Refunded Bonds, is as shown in the Refunding Financial Plan described in Section 4 hereof. Section 4. The financial plan for the aggregate of the refundings authorized by this resolution (collectively, the “Refunding Financial Plan”), showing the sources and amounts of all moneys required to accomplish such refundings, the estimated present value of the total debt service savings and the basis for the computation of the aforesaid estimated present value of total debt service savings, are set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof. The Refunding Financial Plan has been prepared based upon the assumption that the Refunding Bonds will be issued in one series to refund all of the Refunded Bonds in the principal amount of $5,615,000, and that the Refunding Bonds will mature, be of such terms, and bear interest as set forth in said Exhibit B. This County Legislature recognizes that the Refunding Bonds may be issued in one or more series, and for only one or more of the Refunded Bonds, or portions thereof, that the amount of the Refunding Bonds, maturities, terms, and interest rate or rates borne by the Refunding Bonds to be issued by the County will most probably be different from such assumptions and that the Refunding Financial Plan will also most probably be different from that attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to determine which of the Refunded Bonds will be refunded and at what time, the amount of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, the date or dates of such bonds and the date or dates of issue, maturities and terms thereof, the provisions relating to the redemption of Refunding Bonds prior to maturity, whether the Refunding Bonds will be insured by a policy or policies of municipal bond insurance or otherwise enhanced by a credit enhancement facility or facilities, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be sold at a discount in the manner authorized by paragraph e of Section 57.00 of the Local Finance Law, and the rate or rates of interest to be borne thereby, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be issued having substantially level or declining annual debt service and all matters related thereto, and to prepare, or cause to be provided, a final Refunding Financial Plan for the Refunding Bonds and all powers in connection therewith are hereby delegated to the Commissioner of Finance; provided, that the terms of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, including the rate or rates of interest borne thereby, shall comply with the requirements of Section 90.00 or Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, as applicable. The Commissioner of Finance shall file a copy of his certificates determining the details of the Refunding Bonds and the final Refunding Financial Plan with the County Clerk not later than ten (10) days after the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as herein provided. Section 5. The Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to enter into an escrow contract or contracts (collectively the “Escrow Contract”) with a bank or trust company, or with banks or trust companies, located and authorized to do business in this State as said President shall designate (collectively the “Escrow Holder”) for the purpose of having the Escrow Holder act, in connection with the Refunding Bonds, as the escrow holder to perform the services described in Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law. Section 6. The faith and credit of said County of Ulster, New York, are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as the same respectively become due and payable. An annual appropriation shall be made in each year sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such bonds becoming due and payable in such year. There shall be annually levied on all the taxable real property in said County a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such Refunding Bonds as the same become due and payable. Section 7. All of the proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds, including the premium, if any, but excluding accrued interest thereon, shall immediately upon receipt thereof be placed in escrow with the Escrow Holder for the Refunded Bonds. Accrued interest on the Refunding Bonds shall be paid to the County to be expended to pay interest on the Refunding Bonds. Such proceeds as are deposited in the escrow deposit fund to be created and established pursuant to the Escrow Contract, whether in the form of cash or investments, or both, inclusive of any interest earned from the investment thereof, shall be irrevocably committed and pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds
July 11, 2019 in accordance with Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, and the holders, from time to time, of the Refunded Bonds shall have a lien upon such moneys held by the Escrow Holder. Such pledge and lien shall become valid and binding upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds and the moneys and investments held by the Escrow Holder for the Refunded Bonds in the escrow deposit fund shall immediately be subject thereto without any further act. Such pledge and lien shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the County irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Section 8. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution, so long as any of the Refunding Bonds shall be outstanding, the County shall not use, or permit the use of, any proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds in any manner which would cause the Refunding Bonds to be an “arbitrage bond” as defined in Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, to the extent applicable, the Regulations promulgated by the United States Treasury Department thereunder. Section 9. In accordance with the provisions of Section 53.00 and of paragraph h of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, in the event such bonds are refunded, the County hereby elects to call in and redeem each respective series of Refunded Bonds which the Commissioner of Finance shall determine to be refunded in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof and with regard to which the right of early redemption exists. The sum to be paid therefor on such redemption date shall be the par value thereof plus the redemption premium, and the accrued interest to such redemption date. The Escrow Agent for the Refunding Bonds is hereby authorized and directed to cause notice of such call for redemption to be given in the name of the County in the manner and within the times provided in the Refunded Bonds. Such notice of redemption shall be in substantially the form attached to the Escrow Contract. Upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, the election to call in and redeem the callable Refunded Bonds and the direction to the Escrow Agent to cause notice thereof to be given as provided in this paragraph shall become irrevocable, provided that this paragraph may be amended from time to time as may be necessary in order to comply with the publication requirements of paragraph a of Section 53.00 of the Local Finance Law, or any successor law thereto. Section 10. The Refunding Bonds shall be sold at public competitive sale or at private sale to an underwriter to be determined by the Commissioner of Finance (the “Underwriter”) for purchase prices to be determined by the Commissioner of Finance, plus accrued interest from the date or dates of the Refunding Bonds to the date or dates of the delivery of and payment for the Refunding Bonds. Subject to the approval of the terms and conditions of such private sale by the State Comptroller as required by subdivision 2 of paragraph f of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized to execute and deliver a purchase contract for the Refunding Bonds in the name and on behalf of the County providing the terms and conditions for the sale and delivery of the Refunding Bonds to the Underwriter. After the Refunding Bonds have been duly executed, they shall be delivered by the Commissioner of Finance to the Underwriter in accordance with said purchase contract or to the winning purchaser by competitive bid upon the receipt by the County of said purchase price, including accrued interest. Section 11. The Commissioner of Finance and all other officers, employees and agents of the County are hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf of the County to execute and deliver all certificates and other documents, perform all acts and do all things required or contemplated to be executed, performed or done by this resolution or any document or agreement approved hereby. Section 12. All other matters pertaining to the terms and issuance of the Refunding Bonds shall be determined by the Commissioner of Finance and all powers in connection thereof are hereby delegated to the Commissioner of Finance. The Commissioner of Finance shall be further authorized to issue said Refunding Bonds pursuant to Section 90.00 or Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law as said officer shall determine necessary, in consultation with bond counsel to the County. Section 13. The validity of the Refunding Bonds may be contested only if: 1. Such obligations are authorized for an object or purpose for which said County is not authorized to expend money, or 2. The provisions of law which should be complied with at the date of publication of this resolution are not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of such publication, or 3. Such obligations are authorized in violation of the provisions of the Constitution. Section 14. A summary of this resolution, which takes effect immediately, shall be published in the official newspapers of said County, together with a notice of the County Clerk in substantially the form provided in Section 81.00 of the Local Finance Law.

Help keep local journalism strong The business of media is changing, but local, on-theground, fact-checked journalism is needed now more than ever. We believe it’s important for the entire community, regardless of economic position, to have access to the local news that impacts their lives most. That’s why we don’t place our online content behind a paywall. But good, local journalism costs money to produce. That’s where you come in. We’re asking our online readers: If you value what we do, please consider making a contribution. Your help will ensure independent, locally owned journalism will continue to thrive in your community.
